Erandio

Erandio is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of Basque Country, northern Spain.

In 1415, during the War of the Bands, the "corregidor", the royally-appointed governor of the Biscayan "hermandad", acting on royal orders, siphoned off Biscayan wheat to the Asturias, inciting a rebellion. The Biscayans were defeated at Erandio with the loss of sixty men and the wheat transfers continued.
